Cheese has been produced in Canada since Samuel de Champlain brought cows from Normandy in either 1608 or 1610,[1] The Canadienne breed of cattle is thought to descend from these and other early Norman imports. New France developed soft, unripened cheeses characteristic of its metropole, France. Later British settlers and Loyalists fleeing the American Revolution introduced British styles such as cheddar.[2]
